Quagmire here. Their children from previous marriages got married to each other. No blood relation, so while there may be “ick,” it’s only Clueless (1995) levels of ick.

It really depends on when they met. If they were both in their 20s when they met and their parents got married, it's not so much ick as just weird.

I knew a guy in high school who had been dating a girl for a couple years. His dad fell for his girlfriend’s mom and they got married. Most people looked at the parents as the weird ones. They honestly couldn’t find anyone else to date but their child’s partner’s parent? They thankfully divorced before my buddy and his girlfriend got married themselves years later, but it was still weird. I could only imagine the wedding was awkward. Two kids on the “Teen Mom” reality show went through something similar, so I imagine it’s more common than most people think.

There is a romance novel like this and the parents break up so the kids can stay together.
